Just one of the guys at the shop, Marge was a hell of a woman. Marge did as much or more work and heavy lifting than the guys she worked with; she also ate as much, or more, and drank as much, or more. Confident and capable, Marge liked to claim that she “put her big-girl panties on one leg at a time, just like the rest and the best of them.”
It was a good thing, this matter of wearing big girl panties, for it was they that showed prominently after a bend-over for a dropped wrench rent wide her oil stained Dickies. The guys cracked smiles at ‘the rip heard round the shop’. They nodded and noted that Marge had indeed gotten too big for her britches.

Loved it, loved it! Sounds like she can hold her own with the guys, so she will likely survive this incident and the ribbing sure to follow. 🙂

Yes, we know Marge. She returns in “Tuff Love” along with another six sentence fellow from October’s break prompt.

I wonder how many twists and turns she made to gracefully remove herself from the scene, but I’m guessing she just tied a jacket around her behind and kept working. 🙂
Funny SSS!

You know those workpants, right, or is that an Eastern thing? Shoulda put her in Carrharts, but then I would have missed the prompt.
